Description: | Kraftig type Roman copper alloy Trumpet Brooch, 55mm long and 30mm wide. The bow is very wide, almost forming a semi-circle. The brooch has a pronounced elbow(?) with a central protruding disc, enclosed by a vertical ridge above and below. The bow is bevelled, producing a ridge down its entire length, It terminates with an eliptical knop above a small sphere. The spring and casing is intact and is largely covered by the upper half of the bow which widens considerably and sits proud of the spring casing. It has a large catchplate which is complete, the pin is also present. Most of the original surface is intact, but it does have some bronze disease.
